WINEMAKER NOTES
“Any opportunity to work with vines from the 1980s is special. The soil and climate produce stellar wines that are concentrated with a refined profile. As we transition old plantings to new, it feels like we are experiencing the rebirth of an important and historic Washington State vineyard.”
– Rebecca De Kleine
SOARING EAGLE VINEYARD
Wahluke Slope AVA
Soaring Eagle is a hot vineyard site in the Wahluke Slope. Planted in 1984, this vineyard is better recognized by a different name – we aren’t at liberty to use it, but think about a place where Native Americans draw water. Soaring Eagle is conventionally farmed with no cover crops. Average yields are between 5 tons to 7 tons per acre. Sprawling yet refined, Soaring Eagle is a historic property that stands as one of Washington State’s iconic vineyards. The vineyard is certified through the new Sustainable WA program.
